Fur Sim Issues with Scale and Settings 2020年2月18日17:57
Solution: Use vellum on Houdini 18!
Fur Sim Issues with Scale and Settings 2017年11月2日11:08
Hello,
Using the latest version of Houdini 16.0.736.
What is best scale to simulate fur on female jacket.
Should I simulate real-world scale or scale it up very large for better fur simulation performance?
For Example, should the fur coat match the scale of the test geometry like rubber toy or pig head?
Should it be scaled to 2 meters or 200?
I want to master the scale before tinkering with the Fur Sim settings.
Otherwise, does anyone have dynamite fur sim settings for a specific scale?
My sims either seem very static or dramatically broken with stretching fur.
Thank you,
Ryan
